or Do Pirates Like Snow?
Some of the many imponderables uttered by my children.
This is going to be my record of life (because I don't scrapbook, never kept baby books, and have a horrible memory) and the things that happen as a not-so-patient stay-at-home-mom. I'm trying to deepen my faith, but hoping life doesn't cover me in mud.

Back to "Normal"

or as normal as it gets in my house.

Ok, normal will commence tomorrow, after the rest of the kids go back to school.

The "rest of the kids" you say. Well, actually, yes. On any given day, I watch Fixit during the mornings while Bug and K are at school. K goes to the local Catholic Elementary. Bug goes to the public 4K program. The neighbor kids that I watch after school, also go to the public school. They are in a different school district than K. So, I have things color-coded on my calendar by district and kid. I literally have a bus stopping at my house 5 times a day.

6:30 a.m. K gets picked up for school
7:00 a.m. Bug gets on the bus
11:20ish Bug and the neighbor boy get off bus from 4K
3:30 p.m. K gets off bus
4:00 p.m. neighbor girl gets off bus

So, tomorrow, Bug and the neighbor kids will be back to school.

Then, my husband has to take a half day, so I can take Bug, Fixit, and myself in for our cleanings at the dentist.

Oh, wait - my very pregnant sister-in-law and my nephew have moved in with us during the week, because my brother just got a VERY good job 4 hours away and is staying with one of our sisters during the week.

About Me

Hi, My name is Traci. I'm married to my college sweetie. We literally met in college chemistry, so the chemistry has always been there! We have been married for 13 years with three beautiful girls, ages 8, 5, and 3 and two angel boys. Our girls are K, almost 9, who attends the local Catholic grade school and is in 3rd grade. Daughter #2 is Bug, age 5; she is attending the local public school in their brand new 4K program. Daughter #3 is Fixit - age 3. She stays at home with me during the day and is my "helper."
I'm a stay-at-home-mom, but it wasn't a willing transition from the working world. But, I don't know if it will be a willing transition back to the working world when I can make it back. I'm really enjoying staying at home with my kids and being there to help the neighbors out by watching their kids when they get off the bus.
I'm trying to become a better Catholic wife and mother. This will be my 2nd year teaching 7th grade Cathechism class - I volunteered and they gave me the hard grade. I survived the first year, so I'll be back to try it again this year.
I love to cook, have been crazy busy doing all my canning, and love to craft.
